Giza Pyramids:

Stand before the splendor of the ancient world’s most iconic structures. The three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure are among the most remarkable monuments on Earth.

These timeless structures were built on the west bank of the Nile with masterful precision using limestone blocks that have stood for over 4,000 years.

The Great Pyramid:

The Great Pyramid of King Khufu is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Built during the Fourth Dynasty, it continues to astonish scientists and architects to this day.

Some theories suggest its alignment served as a compass to indicate the four cardinal directions. It was originally encased in smooth white limestone, which reflected the sun brilliantly.

The Great Sphinx:

The Great Sphinx of Giza, attributed to King Khafre, is one of the most extraordinary sculptures in human history—featuring the head of a man and the body of a lion.

Carved from a single limestone ridge around 2500 BC, the Sphinx symbolizes strength and wisdom and remains an enduring icon of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Valley Temple:

Adjacent to the Sphinx lies the Valley Temple, constructed from limestone, granite, and alabaster. This well-preserved structure served as a vital part of the king's mummification process.

Its massive pillars and polished floors are testaments to the ancient Egyptians' architectural genius. The temple was rediscovered in the 20th century and remains an archaeological gem.

Lunchtime:

Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before continuing the tour.

The Grand Egyptian Museum:

Conclude your day with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the newest and most advanced archaeological museum in Egypt, located near the Pyramids.

Explore a vast collection of ancient treasures, including statues, sarcophagi, and royal artifacts—some of which are displayed to the public for the first time.

After your visit, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel for overnight stay in Cairo.

After breakfast, your private Egyptologist guide will accompany you in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to explore the highlights of Alexandria:

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa:

Discovered by chance in 1900 AD, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are among the most fascinating Greco-Roman burial sites in Egypt. These tombs reflect a unique blend of Egyptian and Roman architectural styles and were believed to be built for Roman nobles and soldiers.

With spiraling staircases, intricate carvings, and chambered halls, the site reveals how two civilizations blended their beliefs and rituals in death.

Alexandria Library:

The legendary Library of Alexandria stood as the world's most important center of learning in ancient times. The modern version, inaugurated in 2002, honors that legacy with a striking design and vast collection of knowledge from across the globe.

It houses millions of books, historical manuscripts, and digital archives that highlight Egypt’s role in preserving global civilization.

Lunchtime:

Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea before continuing your tour.

Pompey's Pillar:

Standing tall at nearly 27 meters, Pompey’s Pillar is one of the largest monolithic columns ever built outside Rome. Carved from red Aswan granite, the column was erected in honor of Emperor Diocletian and remains a proud relic of Roman architecture in Egypt.

It stands on the ruins of the Serapeum, once a grand temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis.

Qaitbay Citadel:

Overlooking the Mediterranean, the Citadel of Qaitbay was built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in the 15th century to defend Egypt’s northern coastline.

Strategically located on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, the fortress played a vital role in the city's defense and has been restored several times over the centuries.

At the end of the day, check in to your luxurious 5-star hotel in Alexandria for an overnight stay.

Visitors walk through exhibitions dedicated to the Allied and Axis forces, gaining insight into one of the most significant confrontations in modern military history.

Lunchtime:

Enjoy a hearty lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your scenic journey into the Western Desert toward the magical Siwa Oasis.

Shali Fortress (Old Siwa Village):

Dating back to the 13th century, the old village of Shali was built from kershef—a unique mix of salt and clay—giving it a remarkable look and resilience. Though partially ruined by heavy rainfall, its crumbling towers and ancient alleyways still tell the story of a resilient desert community.
